When considering purchasing the Xerox Phaser 6115 Printer using Xerox Phaser 6115 compatible toner, you really need to know exactly what you’re sinking your money into. This model is not only a color laser printer. It offers a plethora of functionality and features for the price tag. With color faxing, color copying, scanning and even email capabilities, it may be just the machine you have been looking for.

The first thing I would like to talk about here is the issue of speed. This unit does not move very fast, but depending on what you will be using the unit for this may not be an issue for you. The numbers look like this: printing at 5 ppm color, and 20 ppm black and white. Like I said, not too speedy. Copying speeds fall in line with 5 ppm color and 12 ppm black and white using Xerox Phaser cartridges. Finally the scanning speeds are a little quicker, at 43 ppm.

One important thing you need to know when considering this model is how it connects and what operating systems it supports. It does connect to your computer via a USB hub Ethernet 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX. As far as the supported operating systems, your pretty much cover with Windows 2000 through Windows Vista, so basically, if you have the newest version of Windows 7, then this system isn’t going to work for you. Also supported is Apple Mac OS X 10.2 or later. It comes with all the necessary drivers, including Xerox CentreWare IS Embedded web server.

Roomy trays are a nice feature with this printer. With a maximum capacity of 700 sheets and a standard media capacity of 200 sheets, you won’t need to reload too often. It also offers a maximum feeder capacity of 50sheets at a time, and the output tray holds up to 100 sheets.

This printer also offers very nice color resolution. Printing up to 2400 x 600 dpi for both color and mono, crisp bright images can be yours. Copy resolution is still nice at 600 x 600 dpi for both color and mono. Another great thing about this printer is that it is an energy saver. With this Energy Star Qualified unit you will only be using 450 watts of electricity when actually in use, and as little as 28 watts of electricity when the unit is in sleep mode.

Now for the faxing capabilities. The fax machine on this model is Super G3 compatible. You have a maximum transmission speed of 33.6 kbps, and the ability to send full color faxes and fax forwarding. It also comes standard with email functionality.

This printer prints on a wide variety of paper stock. Maximum copy size is 8.5 inches by 14 inches. You can print great looking graphics on plain paper, envelopes, cards and label stock, and even transparencies.

Pricing on the Xerox Phaser 6115 Printer runs right around $520. You will also need to purchase the Xerox 6115 compatible toners for this printer. It does take 4 toners, the Cyan, Magenta, and Blue for color, and a black Xerox toners for B/W. The cost of the toner cartridge refills runs anywhere from $50 – $55 a piece. Weighing in at 73 lbs and measuring 20.8 inches wide by 23 inches deep by 20.9 inches high, this is model is geared toward business use. It has a monthly duty cycle of up to 35000 impressions, so it is quite efficient. The unit also comes with a standard 1 yr warranty for service and support. All in all, if you can look past the slow speed of this printer, you really do seem to be getting a bargain with all the great features it has to offer.
